[gdb/dap] Fix exit race

When running test-case gdb.dap/eof.exp, we're likely to get a coredump due to
a segfault in new_threadstate.

At the point of the core dump, the gdb main thread looks like:

The direct cause of the segfault is calling PyGILState_Ensure after
calling Py_Finalize.

AFAICT the problem is a race between the gdb main thread and DAP's JSON writer
thread.

On one side, we have the following events:
- DAP's JSON reader thread reads an EOF, and lets DAP's main thread known
  by writing None into read_queue
- DAP's main thread lets DAP's JSON writer thread known by writing None into
  write_queue
- DAP's JSON writer thread sees the None in its queue, and calls
  send_gdb("quit")
- a corresponding gdbpy_event is deposited in the runnables vector, to be
  run by the gdb main thread

On the other side, we have the following events:
- the gdb main thread receives a SIGHUP
- the corresponding handler calls quit_force, which calls do_final_cleanups
- one of the final cleanups is finalize_python, which calls Py_Finalize
- quit_force calls exit, which triggers the exit handlers
- one of the exit handlers is the destructor of the runnables vector
- destruction of the vector triggers destruction of the remaining element
- the remaining element is a gdbpy_event, and the destructor (indirectly)
  calls PyGILState_Ensure

It's good to note that both events (EOF and SIGHUP) are caused by this line in
the test-case:
...
catch "close -i $gdb_spawn_id"
...
where "expect close" closes the stdin and stdout file descriptors, which
causes the SIGHUP to be send.

So, for the system I'm running this on, the send_gdb("quit") is actually not
needed.

I'm not sure if we support any systems where it's actually needed.

Fix this by removing the send_gdb("quit").

Tested on aarch64-linux.
